We walk through the valley of the Robečský stream and concurrently the area called Peklo (Hell) between two oaks Zahradky and Ceska Lipa. It is a little over 4 km log path marked with red tourist tags.

From the initial laber, which is on both endings of marked hiking path:

The stream flows from the Novozámecký pond and cuts deep into the Mesozoic sandstones. The valley has at some places nearly vertical rock walls, on which there are various surface shapes, developed as a result of weathering (honeycombs, extended cracks...)

So this is enough for the official part and let's see what is awaiting for us + some organizational guidelines and recommendations:

You can choose from which side you want to take the route, whether it be from the Zahrádky or Dubice in Ceska Lipa

Choose direction of the route (from Ceska Lipa to Zahradky or vice versa) according to your own dispositions and transport posibilities.

In the waypoints you will find suitable parking for both startpoints. You can use the train or road transport for transport back to your vehicle.

The route can be taken only on foot, WHEELS ARE NOT ALLOWED (bikes are expressly prohibited)

On the route you will find several infolabers where the answers to the questions are awaiting – there is nothing for searching on the Google

I recommend hiking shoes. Sun dont shine at some places whole day. The path is waterlogged, especially after rain.

I can not recommend the stroller, even if the way is in many places covered with wooden sidewalks, there are many of falled trees and other obstacles along the way.

On the way there is no kiosk, snack, in many places there can be a problem to call the telephone assistance (you will be in the valley between the rocks).

It is clear that you can have troubles with GPS signál but fortunatelly you will not even need it

Of course, there are some prohibitions: No fires, camping, damage to rocks and other objects of protection

Meandres of Robečský stream

Which geological attractions you will see in the valley of Peklo (Hell):

Honeycombs and efflorescences

The partitions between the cavities are usually hardened in the vicinity of cracks with opal and quartz. While solutions evaporate, different colored coatings and efflorences are created on the surface of rocks.

Sand rock formations

Irregular minor jaggs and folds, created by dissolving salt, washing out clay cement particles, and exporting of sand grains from the less resistant parts of the rock surface caused by water.

The rock overhangs

Horizontal hollowed cylindrical shape overhangs at the bottom of the valley. Formed by erosion of rocks in the area of flood water level. Canyon valleys are formed after crash.

Iron deposits and impregnations

Pervasive water between rocks corrupts or dissolves many of minerals. In contact with oxygen iron oxidizes from bivalent to trivalent and condenses in the form of Oxyd-hydroxide rusty brown to red color and forms rock. The rocks and the cracks are formed to irregular solid position, which are formed to stumps, ledges, lids and so on.

Most of the information is taken from information boards of Kokořínsko Administration, which are available on the route.
The author of the texts listed here is VMG Czech Lipa (National History Museum and gallery in the Ceska Lipa)

If you want to log, you must pass these tasks while passing Peklo (Hell) and determine (perhaps from infoladers) answers to these questions:

What constitutes geological substrate of area?

How was the valley originated from Mesozoic?

At the bottom of the flow there are rock formations which shows way how the valley of Hell was originated - what evidence it is (how is this rock formation called)?

In which year a National Natural Monument Peklo was declared?

On the surrounding cliffs and slopes we can find reptiles and amphibians - which one?

Which protected plant grows here in the early spring in more than ten thousand numbers?

At the coordinates of the cache, where you can find the information board with the theme of Zoology, there is the rock hall created by human hands - how long it is (meters) and what is the height and width of the inlet into the hallway (just rounded up to tens of cm)?

Optional - if you like, atach your photo with some attractions (honeycombs and efflorescence, rock overhangs, Iron coatings and impregnation).

It is possible to log on without waiting for confirmation of the correctness of the responses received. If necessary, you will be contacted over the profile. If you dont send responses within a week of logging, log will be deleted.

Reviewer notes

Use this space to describe your geocache location, container, and how it's hidden to your reviewer. If you've made changes, tell the reviewer what changes you made. The more they know, the easier it is for them to publish your geocache. This note will not be visible to the public when your geocache is published.
